Following is a list of properties of a sample of solid sulfur: 1. Brittle, crystalline solid.
II. Melting point of 113°C.
III. Density of 2.1 g/cm²
IV. Combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.
Determine which characteristics are chemical properties. Explain.
A)
IV. This property can only be determined by chemical reacting the sample
of sulfur.
B)
I and II. These properties can only be determined by chemical reacting the
sample of sulfur.
C)
III. These properties can be determined by physical measurements. The
sulfur does not need to react, chemically, in order to measure these
properties
D)
III and IV. These properties can be determined by physical measurements.
The sulfur does not need to react, chemically, in order to measure these
properties.
